Are all these OL being processed, or are they just chasing money?

It sounds like they are trying to get Curne to stay potentially but the rest definitely were told to hit the road or had reduced NIL or didnt get what they wanted NIL wise to stay.

I suspect they know they have a target on their backs as the worst position group on the team, so are both testing the waters on landing spots and NIL values before they are undoubtedly asked to take less $ in order to stay.

People on here who say "Definitely this or that" rarely have a clue what they are talking about.

probaly asked to have their NIL reduced or risk getting processed

not sure what each received but no doubt they weren’t worth whatever it was

Chasing money?
These guys?

My guess is processed.

There is no way imo Cune, Tyree, or even Echols were told to leave. Especially Cune he’s got more potential than any lineman we have & just turned 19yrs old.

It’s probably a combination of the two, honestly. What I noticed with LK during his time with Ole Miss is that he’s very in tune with the market value for players based on quality and position. I’d venture to say some aren’t up to standard and some want more than what the market would dictate based on their level of production.

All these guys hitting the portal are not getting what they wanted to stay (NIL). They are doing evals on everyone and letting them know what they're worth; I'm sure some of the Olinemen they are saying you are worth nothing based on how you played so you get bottom $. Curne is going to command some money so he probably didnt like his "renewal", but may also be finding out what we are offering is similar to others. They seem to be trying to get him back and the door seems to be open there, maybe with another guy too.

Adams was not good this year and I dont see coming back. I cant imagine his NIL offer was worth much as a 3rd year player who wasnt good by any shape of the imagination and why he hit the road.

I can tell you this, every single one of these olinemen are not hard to replace via the portal outside of Moore and hopefully he does come back. Literally nobody played at the median level of an SEC Olineman this year except Moore (well above it, towards the top in fact) and Thompson who was right at the median for an SEC Olineman. Nobody else was even close to the median SEC Olineman (7 other guys). You can find better players in the portal.

Doesnt mean some of these young guys like Curne, Echols, etc...cant have a good career somewhere; but we arent going to overpay to get them to stay either in hope they will get much better when we could spend that kind of money on a bodafide good starter from elsewhere who has proven their worth. Thats ultimately what it comes down to. Curne might be a very good player, but we dont know that for sure yet and if we think he's worth $500k and he thinks he's worth say $750k+ then that money can buy us a pretty good portal starter, then spend that $750k there instead on a proven player.
